What represents others bodies? Draw another human figure. This time, draw someone that you admire. Again, list some attributions you find from that persons body.

Bodies Bodies as part of the symbolic act (representation) Beyond biological entity Gender, sex, race, class, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, ability, age, etc. How do we use our bodies to make a statement?
